White & Case secures trial win for American Clinical Solutions in decade-long lawsuit

Global law firm White & Case LLP has secured a significant trial victory for American Clinical Solutions LLC (ACS), a clinical diagnostic laboratory specializing in advanced testing for prescription narcotics, in a lawsuit against Blue Cross Blue Shield of Puerto Rico (BCBS) before the 15th Judicial Circuit in Florida.

ACS initiated the lawsuit against BCBS in 2015, alleging that BCBS failed to pay for medically necessary diagnostic services ordered by in-network, Puerto Rico–based physicians. After more than a decade of litigation, the trial commenced in early November 2025. Following an eight-day trial, the jury deliberated for three hours before returning a verdict in ACS's favor, which will result in a total judgment of approximately US$6 million.

"This is an important victory in a decade-long battle against a health insurance giant," said Raoul Cantero, who co-led the White & Case Litigation team. "The lesson is that these cases can be won with collaboration and teamwork on the trial team, and that juries will hold insurance companies accountable for ignoring claims made for lab testing designed to help patients with chronic pain."

The White & Case Litigation team was led by partners Zachary Dickens and Raoul Cantero, and included associates Andrew Gershenfeld, Shravya Govindgari and Alejandra Sanchez (all in Miami).
